WHAT IT DOES

What unlink_proxy_media does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use unlink_proxy_media to create or update resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your DaVinci Resolve MCP environment.

RISK

Why unlink_proxy_media is rated Medium

This tool modifies the project state by unlinking proxy media from clips, which is a reversible operation (proxies can be re-linked). It does not delete data or execute arbitrary code, making it a Write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'unlink' action on proxy media associations, which modifies the relationship between clips and their proxy files. The description indicates this operation changes clip metadata and media associations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs unlink_proxy_media safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and DaVinci Resolve MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For unlink_proxy_media, this is the rule to start with:

unlink_proxy_media Rate-limited

unlink_proxy_media stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
